Multiple Open Rank Faculty Positions in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
University of California Los Angeles



Requisition Number: JPF05834

Building upon its commitment to foster an inclusive environment and promote the success of underrepresented students, the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science invites applications for multiple open rank tenure-track faculty positions.

Applicants for the position must have a demonstrated record of excellence or show exceptional promise for high-quality research, teaching and professional development. In addition, applicants must have a demonstrated record of interest in and commitment to the mentorship of students from underrepresented and underserved populations. The successful candidate will be expected to advance their active mentoring activities and participate in programs that provide research and professional development opportunities for our diverse student body (such as our Center for Excellence in Engineering and Diversity, our Women in Engineering program, the National Society for Black Engineers, Society of Latino Engineers and Scientists, and American Indian Science and Engineering Society). Teaching and service expectations will not exceed those of other faculty positions. Applications for appointments at all levels will be considered (Assistant, Associate or Full Professor).

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at UCLA is conducting a search for exceptional faculty candidates in disciplines related to mechanical and aerospace engineering. These disciplines include dynamics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, manufacturing and design, micro- and nano-engineering, structural and solid mechanics, and systems and control, with applications to aircraft, spacecraft, automobiles, energy and propulsion systems, robotics, machinery, manufacturing and materials processing, microelectronics, biological systems, and more.

Candidates whose technical interests complement and augment the Department's existing strengths and are well positioned to develop collaborations as part of multidisciplinary research teams are of particular interest. Applicants are sought at all levels. Our hiring priority is focused on the frontiers of mechanical and aerospace engineering research, where a candidate's impact, originality, and promise for developing and maintaining a strong, extramurally supported research program has been demonstrated. We are interested in outstanding candidates who are committed to excellence in teaching and scholarship and to a diverse campus climate.
These positions require a Ph.D. or equivalent in engineering or a closely related discipline at date of hire.

Application packages should be submitted online through https://recruit.apo.ucla.edu/apply/JPF05834 and include the following documents: 1) curriculum vitae, 2) statement of contributions to equity, diversity, and inclusion with particular attention to mentoring achievements and future mentoring goals, 3) statement of research interest, 4) statement of teaching interest, and 5) a cover letter.
